IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTER-CARRIERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,758, dated January16, 1872.

Specification describing certain Improvements in Packing and ShippingButter, invented by JOSHUA B. GROZIER, of CumberlOand, in the county ofGuernsey and State of The nature of my invention consists in thecombination, with a box, of a series of removable shelves, which aresnugly fitted in the box and separated from each other by cleats securedto the under side of each.

Figure 1 represents a vertical section of my improved box for shippingbutter. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of one of the shelves.

The same letters of reference indicate identical parts.

The box A for shipping print or roll butter may be made of any desiredform and capacity. Its interior is partitioned horizontally by a seriesof shelves, B, which are supported and kept separate from one another bycleats B fastened at the ends and upon the bottom side of each shelf orboard. The height of the cleats will diifer in shelves of differentboxes so as to make the space between the shelves of a capacity suitedto the particular packages of butter intended to be shipped in theboxes. Each shelf is also provided with straps B for convenience inhandling them.

Shelves constructed in this manner are very light and convenient, andwhen taken from the chest and placed on a table or counter with theirload of butter the latter is elevated above the surrounding table, andthe butter is more easily covered closely and protected from dust anddirt than if laid on a table. The shelves are also very easily cleansed,as there are no corners to collect and retain dustand dirt.

The box, having been packed, is closed by the lid A.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The shelves or tables B provided with cleats B beneath their ends andwith plane upper surfaces, as and for the purpose described, incombination with the chest A.
